Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the generation of sound from audio files in mobile telecommunications devices such as mobile telephones.
  • Distributed architectures can relieve handsets of dedicated functionality by having a simple client that connects across a network to a server that does all of the hard work.
  • client means an application using the services of a server.
  • the present invention is based on the proposal that a distributed architecture can provide dedicated audio functionality. This will work by the server doing the hard work of generating the required audio file and the client that resides on the phone simply downloading the resulting audio file.
  • the present invention provides a method of generating sound in a mobile telephone operating in a communications network including a server capable of communication simultaneously with several mobile telephones, in which an application running on the mobile telephone causes a request for an audio file to be sent to the server, the requested audio file is generated by means within the server in response to the request, transmitted from the server to the mobile telephone and reproduced by the mobile telephone.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a communications network in which the present invention may be used.
  • Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a possible software architecture implementing the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows a mobile telephone 10 having a communication channel to a data centre 11 having server 13 via a radio access network including base transmitter stations 12 and a core network linking base stations 12 to various data centres.
  • the telephone 10 has distributed audio client software indicated at 20 and the server 13 has distributed audio server software indicated at 23.
  • the phone 10 must support the following client software:
  • the phone will run an application 20 that acts as a client.
  • This client will send a request to the server software 23 to perform a task, i.e. generate an audio file.
  • the server 23 will read in the request, perform the required request and then send the resulting audio file back.
  • the server is able to support the following:
  • the client 20 is written in MIDP 2.0
  • the client is used by a game which wishes to play some speech which says "Game Over"
  • the game asks the client to request the "Game Over" speech
  • the client sends a text based message to the server 23 (using TCP/TP) containing the message "Game Over"
  • the server receives the text-based message and proceeds to call a program to convert the "Game Over" text into a (8-bit, 8K, PCM, mono) WAV file.
  • the server sends the WAV file to the client 7.
  • the client receives the WAV file and notifies the game that it has received the sound file
  • the game retrieves the sound file and plays it
  • the round trip time may be less than 5 seconds for small pieces of speech
  • the client 20 is written in MIDP 2.0 with MIDI playback capabilities
  • the client is used by a DJ disc jockey application which wishes to generate some music
  • the DJ application asks the client to request the music and specifies a description of the music consisting of a set of notes and pauses
  • the client sends a text based message to the server 23 (using TCP/IP) containing the description of the music to generate
  • the server receives the text-based message and proceeds to call a program to convert the musical description text into a MIDI (format 0) file
  • the server sends the MIDI file to the client
  • the client receives the MIDI file and notifies the DJ application that it has received the sound file
  • the DJ application retrieves the music and plays it
  • the round trip time is less than 10 seconds for small pieces of music
  • MMS Multimedia Messaging
  • the server receives the MMS and extracts the audio sample and the textual parameter
  • the server attaches the resulting altered audio clip to a new MMS
  • the server sends the MMS back to the user
  • the user receives the MMS asynchronously so the round trip time is not important. Should be less than 30 seconds.

Abstract

Une architecture client/serveur répartie est utilisée pour fournir une fonctionnalité audio spécialisée par la génération par le serveur des fichiers audio requis. Dans un mode de réalisation préféré, un utilisateur d'un téléphone mobile envoie une demande à un serveur, demande comprenant des données texte ou audio. Le serveur génère un fichier audio en utilisant les données texte ou audio et les renvoie au téléphone mobile. Le fichier audio est ensuite reproduit par le téléphone mobile.
